The building blocks of
the programme

The study of economics is an excellent first step for a professional career in business, research, or institutional administration. It also provides a broad basis for further studies in many areas within social sciences. Developed by LSE, this degree will give you a thorough grounding in the principles of individual decision-making, firm strategy, and the overall functioning of an economy.

As with all Bachelor’s Programmes designed by the LSE, students take four courses each year, made up of a combination of compulsory and elective classes.


NB: availability of courses depends on student interest, and not all of the below courses may be available for study during years 2 and 3.

Before graduating from Forward College, we recommend students pursue an internship, whether for career exploration purposes or to gain practical, valuable, and much sought-after experience. For bachelor’s students, an internship is not mandatory, but is highly recommended.
